How to Get Weapons in Into the Dead: Our Darkest Days

Like all supplies in Into the Dead: Our Darkest Days, weapons must be scavenged on supply runs throughout Walton City. Players can sometimes begin a run with weapons already in their inventory depending on their chosen pair of starting survivors and other factors, but these starting weapons won't be more powerful than basic knives or frying pans. They'll also break quite easily, so players shouldn't rely on them too often.

To get the best weapons in Into the Dead: Our Darkest Days, players should send their survivors on scavenging runs to locations that have all three dots filled in for the weapons category. Each POI in Into the Dead: Our Darkest Days has ratings that measure the total available amounts of food, base resources, medicine, weapons, and other supplies. Places like Fire Station No. 8 and Hackett Construction Inc. Are the best POIs to visit if players are in need of weapons, for example.

Just because a POI seemingly has a ton of weapons based on its map information, that doesn't mean a survivor will end a supply run with a backpack filled with guns and knives. Weapons are incredibly rare in Into the Dead: Our Darkest Days, so even the best scavenging spots might only have one or two small knives or blunt weapons for survivors to loot. That's if the survivors even find the weapon caches in the first place. These POIs are dangerous and crawling with zombies, so players may not be able to safely investigate every room in a single supply run.

Unfortunately, weapons cannot be repaired in Into the Dead: Our Darkest Days. Once a weapon breaks, it's gone for good. Even the best melee weapons will only survive a handful of strikes against undead foes, so players should use their weapons sparingly and sneak by the zombies when given the opportunity.

While players cannot repair broken weapons, they can still use raw materials to craft more. Into the Dead: Our Darkest Days players can upgrade their home bases with crafting stations like the weapon bench, which enables basic weaponry like hammers and knives to be crafted from metal, wood, and other resources. The weapon bench can be upgraded to unlock new weapons as well. The limited arsenal makes Into the Dead: Our Darkest Days one of the more experimental zombie games on the market, but experienced survivors can prepare for the road ahead and avoid combat when possible.
